WHAT DO THE READERS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT – The Boy With Strange Eyes?
A Gem Not to be Missed…
I came across this story purely by chance and was sucked in by Kuni’s plight and journey. When I was on the verge of tears by one of the early chapters, I knew this story was worth reading. Kuni is a small, young fisherman with a painful past, a huge heart, and a strong sense of self. The lessons he learns resonate deep in the heart. Please read it for yourself and see.
Wow!…
This novel was fascinating. With fantasy, eastern philosophy, and adventure, this tale had it all. I read the whole story in one sitting and recommended it to all my friends.
Homeschooling Mom…
I am so glad I found this story. It captivates my attention and is pleasing to read. As a homeschooling mom, I love your questions for the youth to link directly to the story. That is what truly great writing is about character development in the reader. Thank you!
Speechless…
Relationships of blood are not always stronger than relationships of the soul. I truly believe this. I can’t put into words how much I enjoy walking through life with this young man. I am at a loss for words.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
I originally wrote this book as a tool for my fellow teachers to use with at-risk youth, to help raise the issues of bias, prejudice, and discrimination. It became popular with home-schooling parents, and older people like it as much as teens. My expectations of a small audience were completely wrong, and I was pleasantly surprised by the story's popularity.
How Did You Come up With Your Characters?
The main protagonist in this story, Kuni, is based on my boyhood. The story combines Eastern culture, philosophy, and martial arts. Other coaches and mentors from my life are the inspiration for many of the characters.
